I'm on 793 - hope it doesn't fill up. Fingers crossed. Then hope YBYL doesn't take effect...

I really don't miss all the travel....really...

You should definitely be able to do it at OLCI, but it just adds you to the onload list in DCS, which is processed at the gate.

Make sure you're at the airport early enough to get on the list before the flight closes.

It looks good. The flight is mostly checked in, and there's only 1 uncleared person on the J list. I don't think YBYL will come into play.
